Gird your loins, world:

VP Biden heading to Rome for installation of Pope Francis I — mass expected to be next Tuesday

Hey Joe, you’d better tread carefully — this isn’t your garden variety event.

Twitterers are already bracing themselves:

Dios mio. MT @BretBaier Ed Henry: Fox has learned the Vice President is headed to Rome soon for the installation of Pope Francis

Get ready for him to embarrass us all. RT @mpoppel: AP source: Vice President Joe Biden to lead US delegation to new pope’s installation.

Hello, I'm Joe, let me tell you where you're wrong on abortion: Vice President Joe Biden to lead US delegation to new pope's installation.

The speech coach the White House will hire to drill into Joe Biden's head that it's "Pope" not "poop" could fund WH tours for the year.

I hope @VP Biden doesn't make a nonsensical frisk joke with the #Pope the way he did with Senator Heitkamp's husband on swearing in day.

Oh, please no.

Per my last RT, Joe Biden will be going to Rome to meet the new Pope. I hope Francis gives him a "garden variety" slap in the face.

He could certainly use one.
